THE EXPANSION PROJECT IN HELL

"Help those who have doubts. Rescue those who are living in danger of hell’s fire." - Jude 1:22‭ (ERV)

On 25th February 1879, when Charles Peace, a notorious criminal in England, was about to be executed, a minister said to him: “Those who die without Christ experience hell, which is the pain of forever dying without the release which death itself can bring.” Charles stopped the minister and said, “Sir, if I believed what you and the church of God say that you believe, even if England were covered with broken glass from coast to coast, I would walk over it, if need be, on hands and knees and think it worthwhile living, just to save one soul from an eternal hell like that!” (Culled from Why Revival Tarries, Leonard Ravenhill) 

Many people all over the world are currently on the danger list of hell. It is worthy of note that Hell has enlarged itself to accommodate more unbelievers from every generation (Isaiah 5:14). However, many careless Christians are silently supporting the expansion project in hell. They indirectly offer their support to hell by refusing to witness to unbelievers around them. They seat on the fence or give flimsy excuses when it is time for evangelism and follow up. They bluntly ignore God's directives to passionately go after unbelievers and rescue them from their voyage to hell (Jude 1:22). Some believers are too preoccupied with their business or career than the great commission (Matthew 28:19). The terrible plight of sinners no longer move them to pray and trust God for the salvation of lost souls (2 Corinthians 5:11). What a misnormal!  

"Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it" - Isaiah  5:14 (KJV)

Friends, are you part of those careless Christians that are supporting the expansion project in hell? Why are you not concerned about the  terrible plight of sinners around you? Why are you so docile or inactive when it is time to go for evangelism and follow up? Are you sure you have not backslided? Do you really love those sinners the way Christ loved them? (Romans 5:8)

"But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" - Romans 5:8 (Amplified)

One special hymn that provide reasons why many christians are not witnessing to unbelievers is titled "All Because We Do Not Love Them! " Please prayerfully meditate on the lyrics of this wonderful hymn below and trust God to rekindle fresh passion in our heart to witness to lost souls in Jesus name. 

ALL BECAUSE WE DO NOT LOVE THEM by Daniel O. Teasley, 1910

Many souls today are dying,

Sin and sorrow is their lot;

Darkness shrouds them with its mantle,

All because we love them not.

Refrain:

          All because we do not love them,

          Millions fill the heathen grave;

          Brother, can you see them perish,

          When a little love would save?

Brother, can we guiltless linger,

When to us the truth is giv’n?

Tearless, see the heathen dying,

Without God or hope of heav’n?

Love brought Jesus down from glory,

On the cruel cross to die;

Can we say we love the heathen,

If we turn away their cry?

Love undying, love eternal—

Love will send us o’er the wave,

Will impel us to our duty,

Helpless heathen souls to save.

Jesus said, “Go, teach all nations”;

They are lost if we delay;

Can we face Him at the judgment,

If His word we disobey?

My prayer is that God will help all believers to be more passionate, purposeful and fervent in reaching unbelievers with the gospel. As we throw our net out passionately, every soul on that terrible danger list of hell shall be rescued and released never to return to their vomit again. 

Good day and God bless you, Amen. 

Maranatha!
